Since 1963 - fully custom steel and aluminium superyachts, built in Ancona.
Large, fully custom, and unmistakably Italian.
CRN is the Italian shipyard that has built large, fully custom superyachts on the Adriatic coast since 1963. From its base in Ancona it works in steel and aluminium, giving owners the freedom to shape a yacht with no limits of size or layout.
Part of the Ferretti Group, CRN pairs six decades of metal shipbuilding with the industrial strength to deliver ambitious one-off projects, from around 40 metres to the 80-metre Chopi Chopi.
CRN - Costruzioni e Riparazioni Navali - was founded in Ancona in 1963 by Sanzio Nicolini, who chose steel and aluminium at a time when yachts were still built in wood.
That early bet on metal made CRN a natural home for large, fully custom superyachts, a reputation it has carried ever since as part of the Ferretti Group.
From a post-war shed in Ancona to a builder of record custom superyachts.

Every CRN is engineered and built from scratch in steel and aluminium at the Ancona shipyard, to a design shaped entirely around its owner.
Six decades of metal shipbuilding give CRN the confidence to take on ambitious, one-off projects and finish them to the standard expected of a great Italian yacht.
Built in metal, shaped by imagination.
